A-Z Recycling Guide -- Bubble Wrap

Generally, mail service centers accept STYROFOAM™ "peanuts" and bubble wrap for reuse. To locate a "peanut" reuser close to you, call the Plastic Loose-Fill Peanuts hotline at (800) 828-2214. There are no recycling options for STYROFOAM™ used as food packaging, but some day care centers need such items for art projects. Please call first. Also see listings under STYROFOAM™ in this guide.
